September this year was nearly the warmest ever recorded with an average temperature of 17.5 degrees Celsius, the Dutch meteorological institute KNMI reported on Monday. Only September in 2006 was warmer since measurements began in 1901.
There is a solid chance that Monday will be the hottest September 11th ever measured in the Netherlands, breaking the heat record for the sixth day in a row. But from tomorrow, temperatures will take a noticeable step downward, according to Weeronline.
Another two warm weather records have been broken in the Netherlands. Last night was the warmest recorded September night. And at 11:00 a.m., temperatures climbed above 25 degrees in De Bilt, making today a summer’s day and breaking the record for most consecutive summer days in September, Weeronline reports.
The Netherlands is facing a new heat record, as September 10 has never been warmer than in 2023. On Sunday, 28.5 degrees were measured at 1 p.m. at the main station in De Bilt. The previous record dates back to 1959, when it was 28.4 degrees on September 10.
Once again a heat record was set, according to Weeronline. On Saturday around 3:50 p.m., the temperature in De Bilt rose to 28.4 degrees, officially making it the warmest September 9 since records began at the start of the last century. The previous record for this date was set in 2012. At that time, the temperature in De Bilt rose to 28.1 degrees. At the moment, the warmest place in the country is West Dorpe with 30.3 degrees. The national record for September 9 is 31.8 degrees and was measured in Gemert in 1928.
